Last nights Strikeforce event was a great one to watch, so I hope you didn’t miss it.  For those Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fans, I am sure you were routing for Andre Galvao, who won his Strikeforce debut over Luke Stewart by split decision.  As for the females, Miesha Tate also showed domination over Zoila Frausto, and her jiu-jitsu skills!  These 2 females had a battle last night at the 135lb division.  Tate is all about take downs, and she didn’t stop.  Zoila had some good kicks and punches, but she couldn’t defend the takes downs.  After Tate took Frausto down several times, she finally got to mount and submitted Frausto with an armbar.  I think it was one of the best fights of the night.

I give credit to these females in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA because most people look down upon women who do the sport, or they think that we are not capable of it.  But I think women train just as hard as the men.   Also, women can do Mixed Martial Arts and still be feminine.

It’s funny, because being a female and training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu requires a lot more preparation/upkeep.  As for females like myself, I have long hair and it gets in the way… A LOT!  As I was looking on the forum there was actually a post about Long Hair and BJJ.  I have tried several different methods to keeping my hair tied back, and it always comes out one way or another and/or gets messy.  What I find best that works is a pony tail with a braid!

Don’t forget tonight we are watching the UFC 11 St. Pierre vs. Hardy here at Lloyd Irvin’s Mixed Martial Arts.  Make sure to stop by and watch it with the Team, it’s gonna be a great night of fights!
